Too bad then. I don't know of any other patch from my own experience
being directly related, try to look for similar THP-related race fixes.
Did you already check whether disabling THP (set it to "never" under
/sys/...) prevents the issue? I forgot.

This likely means that a pte was overwritten to zero, and an anon page
had no other reference than this pte, so it became orphaned. Its
anon_vma object was freed as the process exited, and eventually
overwritten by a new user, so compaction or reclaim looking at it sooner
or later makes a bad memory access.

The pte overwriting may be a result of races with multiple threads
trying to either read or write within the same page, involving THP zero
page. It doesn't have to be MADV_DONTNEED related.
